Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan

3DS

About the Game

Etrian Odyssey IV plays similarly to its predecessor with an tough, old-school dungeon RPG feel where one false move can sound defeat. New to this entry is the ability to see the infamous F.O.E. super enemies on the dungeon map and a new newbie-friendly mode which takes you back to the town when you die (instead of getting a game over) and gives you an item to whisk you out of the dungeon at any time. Also, you get to ride in a hot air balloon!

Our Verdict

The previous Etrian Odyssey games were great dungeon crawler RPGs, but each of them had odd gameplay issues that relegated them solely to the hardcore fans. Etrian Odyssey IV does away with these issues and introduces some new features such as Casual Mode, which lets newcomers get hooked into the series. If you have any interest at all in dungeon RPGs you'll do yourself a disservice letting this odyssey set sail.
